My Project

My first graders are in the early stages of learning how to independently read. Reading games and activities are an essential component of making learning enjoyable! My classroom requires additional resources and a simple method to manage all of our school treasures. Teaching young children to care for and respect our classroom learning resources is essential. Bins, boxes, and shelves will be extremely helpful in keeping our supplies organized and instilling the value of order. All of these tools will help streamline the classroom experience, freeing up more time for teaching and enjoyment!

It is important to ensure that all students have access to the resources they need in the classroom to foster learning and independence.

This project will help our school set priorities for accelerating learning and promoting independence in early learning.
